José Mourinho pointed to how Manchester City have bought
full-backs for the usual value of strikers and said Manchester United’s
investment of close to £300m since he arrived is not enough to compete, after
his side could only draw 2-2 with Burnley at Old Trafford.

Although the result cut the deficit to City to 12 points
after United battled back from 2-0 down at half-time, thanks to two goals from
the substitute Jesse Lingard, Pep Guardiola’s side can stretch their lead to 15
if they win at Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

Afterwards, Mourinho was reminded that United have dropped
eight points from their past five matches and was asked whether such a gap
might be unacceptable for a club of United’s stature.

One thing is a big club and another thing is a big football
team. They are two different things,” he said. “We are in the second year of
trying to rebuild a football team that is not one of the best teams in the
world. Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of strikers. When you speak
about big football clubs, you are speaking about the history of the club.

When it was put to Mourinho he has invested £300m since
taking over – it is actually closer to £261m – he responded:

It is not enough.
And the price for the big clubs, the price for the big clubs is different from
the other clubs. So the big, historical clubs are normally punished in the
market for that history
